The position of the castle is strategic, perched on top of a rocky ledge. Legend has it that, in 1646, the then baron of the castle (Corvo de Corvis) demanded the application in the town of the Ius primae noctis (all the women of the town to spend their wedding night with him instead of with their newly married consort ). For this reason he was assassinated.

Approaching from Roccascalegna you will immediately notice the castle which dominates the whole surrounding area on top of the cliff.

Nice castle complex. There is no museum, but the walls can be visited. There are also restaurants in the village, but a reservation is always recommended!
